Let's imagine the 2017-18 MLB offseason is a beach. Now let's imagine the New York Yankees are kicking sand in the face of the Boston Red Sox.

The Yankees added a seismic slugger when they acquired National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins. They're poised to assume supremacy in the American League East with a potent lineup anchored by Stanton, American League Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez.
That trio alone could plausibly launch 150 home runs in 2018.
